Long live vi

Way back, when dinosaurs roamed the earth and "windows" were things you looked out to see what nature was doing, I wrote code using the vi editor.

The world was a simpler place then. No mouse to make things easy. No colour on your screen. Well, I guess to be truthful you had two colours, green and black (or amber and black for you fancy-types).

Then Microsoft took over the world. But, they haven't touched vi. What would the world be like if they had? Here's how the vi editor would seem if it had been made by Microsoft.
